Required Data for Upgrading a Jenkins Instance

This article describes how to collect the minimum required information for Rendering Problems or Loading Issues.

If the required data is bigger than 20 MB you will not be able to use ZenDesk to upload all the information. In this case we would like to encourage you to use our upload service in order to attach all the required information.

There’s no straightforward resolution for this kind of problems. First step is to try to use a more recent web browser. If it doesn’t help, you should open a support ticket.

In order to help CloudBees to understand what’s happening on your Jenkins instance, you should collect some data. Please use either Chrome or Firefox to run this procedure, these browsers include the required tools to help us.
